The son of Edmund Haviland-Burke, Member of Parliament for Christchurch, and a collateral descendant of Edmund Burke, Haviland-Burke was educated privately at various locations in Europe. He then joined the staff of the Manchester Guardian , for which he reported on the Greco-Turkish War. [1]

Settling in Dublin, he stood unsuccessfully for the Irish National League in North Kerry at the 1892 general election, South Dublin in 1895, and North Louth at the 1900 general election. In that election, he also stood in Tullamore, where he finally took a seat. In Parliament, he served as a whip for the Irish Parliamentary Party. He held his seat in each subsequent election until his death in 1914. [1]

In 1883, he married Susan Wilson, of Ballycastle, County Antrim.

He died at his residence at 70 Waterloo Road, Dublin, on 12 October 1914. [2]

The 1918 Irish general election was the part of the 1918 United Kingdom general election which took place in Ireland. It is a key moment in modern Irish history because it saw the overwhelming defeat of the moderate nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP), which had dominated the Irish political landscape since the 1880s, and a landslide victory for the radical Sinn Féin party. Sinn Féin had never previously stood in a general election, but had won six seats in by-elections in 1917–18. The party had vowed in its manifesto to establish an independent Irish Republic. In Ulster, however, the Unionist Party was the most successful party.
